Moving Reviews
Real Emeryville area customers. Unedited, unfiltered reviews of 5 STAR MOVING.
Jane G
On time, very polite, hard workers respectful of my property and I would definitely use them again.
Craig M
The 5-Star Moving crew are strong, fast, friendly, polite, respectful and on-time. I recommend them for moving things that can be rotated, such as lunch-room chairs, tables, lumber, logs, plywood, drywall, insulation, buckets of joint compound or tar, shingles, bricks, blocks, rocks, sand, bags of cement, scaffolding, industrial shelving, fencing, pallets, sheet metal stock, garbage dumpsters. In your home I recommend them moving refrigerators, clothes washers & dryers, toilets, sinks, bathroom showers and tubs, dining room tables and chairs, televisions, couches, recliners, empty cabinets and dressers, end and coffee tables, dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, pool tables, ping pong tables, water heaters, furnaces. air conditioners, soft water conditioners, picnic tables, kids playground equipment, lawn mowers, lawn seeders, garbage & waste cans, boxes of clothes, boxes of foam, empty boxes, large and small empty toolboxes, hydraulic jacks, car ramps, engine pullers, chain hoists, engines, transmissions, rear-ends, tires and rims, tire balancers, air compressors, horizontal and vertical saws, drill presses, vises, empty work benches, milling machines, lathes, I.D./O.D. and surface grinders, drafting tables, cubicle walls and empty desks. If you did not see your items on this bucket list, then look elsewhere. Sincerely, Craig McIntosh

They did an excellent job. And when finished unloading before our time was up, they put together the bed, sectional and dining chairs and table. They were personable, worked well with having two rug rats underfoot and took direction well. Again, excellent job!

Lucas and his team did a great job. They communicated effectively about when they would arrive and what to expect. They worked very hard and did a great job of loading my pod. I look forward to using them when I move my belongings into my new place.
Suzanne W
They were a little late, but that was because of traffic, and they called in route to let me know.
They were very prepared and worked hard, were respectful of both my belongings and my home.
I would definitely hire them again for a move, they did a better job than my regular moving company.
Anne R
They worked hard and relatively fast, were very responsive to our questions and concerns, and were respectful of our property and goods. We would use them again.

Evan and Pat were awesome! They came ready to move. They were efficient, professional and very easy to communicate with. They knew what they were doing and executed how to do it very well. We couldn't have done it without them!
Kim B
These guys were fantastic....never skipped a beat! On time with plenty of supplies & cheerfully worked their asses off, very careful with my fragile items and respectful of my home. I'd hire them again in a heart beat and highly recommend them as REAL professional movers!

We hired three movers but we're told only two could make it - which was fine - but we were also told they'd only charge us for the two workers. We were charged for three workers.
I scheduled to have the movers come between 7-8 because our pod was scheduled to be picked up between 9-12. The movers showed up at 8:40, well after our scheduled time.
We scheduled to have a treadmill moved and marked that on our order. The movers seemed to have never moved one before and did significant damage to our baseboards trying to ram the equipment through the door after the raiser dropped down and locked into place.
While everything ended up getting loaded before the pod was picked up, and our property wasn't completely destroyed (minus the baseboard in our hallway), it was an underwhelming experience. I couldn't recommend these two.

Get To Know Us
What can a customer expect after booking with you?
After booking, you will receive an email that provides the phone number for 5-Star Moving. We do our very best to call clients within 48 hours. However, during the busy season sometimes it’s best to contact us if you want to go over your move details!
What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?
The movers will always call the day of your move if we are running at all behind, if you don’t hear from us this is usually a good sign, it means we are on track so try not to stress!
How should a customer prepare for moving day?
Having items well boxes is the #1 time saver and a sure way to keep your bill as low as possible. If you have 1 container, expect the move to take 2 to 3 hours. If you have 2 containers expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. Remember - lamps, lamp shades, and small items should be boxed if you want them to arrive safely to your destination. Small items in general can increase the move time by double so having all these items in boxes really does help. Buy plastic wrap, straps and blankets for us.
What types of moves have you handled?
We on an average load of 60+ containers/month. Meaning our movers are extremely versed in the art of PODS loading. We also do truck work and have been in the moving industry for over 10 years. Some of our veteran loaders have been in the industry for 20+ years. Whoever shows up, rest assured you’re in good hands.
What's your favorite part about being a mover?
Our favorite part of being a mover is the satisfaction of a job done right. We see every day poorly loaded rental trucks and POD containers, we also see the frustration from those clients who have poor experiences. We love when the client is watching with his/her eyes wide open while we wrap their valued belongings.
What training do you provide your crew members?
All of our team members are carefully trained. They all know and understand the price of furniture and the value. Because of this, they take extra caution when loading your items. They also expect to have the right materials to do their job properly, this is why it’s important for you, the client, to always have the 3 essentials - plastic wrap, blankets and ratchet straps (NOT ROPE!).
